Description
Dahlia ‘Small World’
Dahlia ‘Small Word’ is my ‘go to’ Dahlia for Weddings. It’s white, small enough for buttonholes and with stems long enough for bouquets. As a wedding florist I used every single stem!
Producing bucketful’s of white mini pompom blooms all through the season. Its just about the most productive cut flower in our collection.
Most Pompom dahlias are just that bit too big for buttonholes, corsages and flower crowns. Not this one, you can find a video (click here) where I demonstrate how to make a buttonhole with this Dahlia.
If you intend to have a 100% home grown Wedding then this Dahlia is vital for you!
For the home gardener and allotment, Dahlia ‘Small World’ makes a handsome garden plant. Stake it well and stand well back!
Pest and rot resistant, which is probably down to the tuber production, it creates lovely big tubers at the end of the season that store incredibly well too!
If you are new to growing Dahlia’s choose this variety, it won’t let you down!

Cutting /Vase Life:
Dahlias do not continue to open once cut so pick when blooms are ¾ of the way open. Check the back of the flower head to check all the petals are perfect. The petals turn papery, drop and lose colour once they start to go over. Deadhead flowers to give plants back the energy to ripen the next flower rather than work on producing seed.
Place flowers straight into ready buckets of water. We rest our blooms for a few hours in water, this is called conditioning.
